HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024-2025 season

How long does Patrick last under Lou?

At this point the question should be how long does Lou last? Lou is outdated he's not a good GM anymore in my book.

How many feel their a$$ finally unclenched this morning?

Michkov hype train slowed down a bit, i haven’t watched a minute of him yet this year. What’s the deal

Trash at es possibly the worst defensive player in the league. Absoute wizard with the puck 95% of his points coming on the PP or 4v4. Which means he is struggling with the space he's given at the NHL level. But having that level of skill means when he figures it out he should torch ES too ala Kucherov. If he doesn't he's still an insanely talented top six forward.

He's smaller than I thought so he may just go through the johnny gaudreau issue of torching the league to under ppg from year to year depending on how banged up he is or how hard teams are covering him. Being able to shoot makes him a bigger threat though. I can't think of any 5’9 guys who didn't face those issues though. Even guys like Kane and MSL had down years.

They don't know he's too important to wear a suit?

EA is so bad. There are about a dozen games with character customization with which my 12 years old niece could make a better Tortoreplica. Saw the MSL one yesterday and it was so badly done, thought it was a spoof, but now I realize those are indeed EA's work. People should stop buying their games. They care so little about gamers and hire the lowest cost possible. You can see it in almost every EA game. What a wretched company. They used to be such a great success story. What a shame.

I'm actually more curious about the staffer with the yellow jacket in the background, who seems to be paid to do nothing but watch the wall in the tunnel with a very serious look on his face.

"start our rebuild plan".

You were supposed to do that last off-season Trotz!!!

Barry just have to show this video to his players and it will help them a lot.

They would have a lot of 30+ interesting pieces for buyers. O'Reilly, Josi, Stamkos, Marchessault, Skjei, etc.

But that would be a bad look to trade some of these, as they are UFA recently signed.

 

[sampollock]

Hey he coachs again Trotz

I’d grab O’Reilly for the remainder of his contract.

Love a GM who puts his neck on the line. A very thin line. Still..

Extra man threat only. He can't get the puck 5 on 5, and his skating isn't strong enough to beat defenders wide.

He has one 5 on 5 point, an assist. His shot is lethal, though. His release excellent, but that's all he is right now - when given space.

Of course, it doesn't help him that Philadelphia's centers all absolutely suck.

Good analysis. He is only 19, he needs to get stronger. No doubt he will.

Connor McMichael is having a great start.

It was not a linear development path... Good thing they were patient with him.

Suit or no suit, it looks like they don't even know who tortorella is based on this image.

it's symbolic of how little attention ea pays to the nhl franchise.

His last 2 offseasons have been real duds. Should have transitioned into an advisory role rather than full time GM. That and his ridiculous policies on facial hair and hair lengths need to go.

It says a lot that coaches looked more realistic in NHL 07 than NHL 25. Such a sad state of the franchise. They never focus on the right things. Just make NHL 14 for the current gen of consoles.
